The "voice acting" in the game is low quality. It seems weird to include one for some, but not all. You end up feeling like there should be a lot more to their routes, but there isn't. You only get 3 dates per dad, and the pay off at the end is not very good. I didn't think this game was absolutely terrible, but there are a few reasons I don't recommend it and am hoping I can get a refund on it. I didn't think this game was absolutely terrible, but there are a few reasons I don't recommend it I really, really wanted to love this game. I really, really wanted to love this game. If you aren't a fan of cheesy dad humor or busting a gut the first time eggplant emojis fling themselves across a screen, then sorry, but you prooobably weren't actually paying attention to the game's marketing campaign. That's what fan works are for, after all ) Overall, as long as you're not coming into this thing totally expecting it to be something it's not, I have no clue why anyone wouldn't have a good time. I can understand the choice to keep the tone light and wholesome. A little less spicy than some people on the internet were -probably- hoping, but hey. A little short, but honestly not THAT short considering the conventions of the genre, and considering that enough routes should be humorous and enjoyable enough to spend time replaying the game. CONS: A bit buggy at launch- a lot of folks still aren't 100% clear whether Joseph's good end is currently accessible at all. There's a lot of misogyny present in some gay-male-oriented spaces and it would've been easy to just throw her under the bus as an antagonist. The writing charms your pants off at every turn, it shakes things up with the occasional silly minigame, and no character is completely irredeemable- not even a certain housewife, which I appreciated. You can tell that everyone involved cared about ensuring their audience would have a fun time. This is just a very genuine, heartwarming little game about relationships- both romantic and familial. Yet Dream Daddy somehow manages to not take itself very seriously- without relying on cynical, 'ironic,' or condescending treatment of the subject matter. In his post he said "having watched its development and played a beta build, I just don’t think anybody cared about creating a quality product while making it because they knew it’d get good reviews for “virtue signaling” or whatever it’s called by people smarter than me.PROS: When dealing with topics that really matter, this game demonstrates more tact and depth than you'd probably expect from something that PROS: When dealing with topics that really matter, this game demonstrates more tact and depth than you'd probably expect from something that sounds like a kinky novelty sim. Grumpcade and Doodle Doods guest Julian criticized the game on his Tumblr page.
#DREAM DADDY A DAD DATING SIMULATOR WIKI SIMULATOR#
The game is a dating simulator where you play as a dad (the Player Character) who must romance one of seven different dads while also managing your paternal relationship with your daughter, Amanda. The game features Game Grumps personalities in the following roles: Vernon also expressed his belief that "we can confidently say that Game Grumps is a game studio now", clarifying that he considers "Game Grumps" an "artist collective" encompassing the Game Grumps YouTube channel, Ninja Sex Party, Ross's animation work, Starbomb and now Dream Daddy. Although Vernon is a co-creator, designer and writer for the game, no other Game Grumps members were responsible for designing the game, and the role the channel took in investing and promoting the game is more akin to a publisher than developer.Īfter the release of the game, Arin tweeted "we are a game studio now". There has been some debate as to whether Game Grumps should be considered a developer or a publisher for Dream Daddy. Arin, Danny, Barry, Brian and Suzy contributed voice acting to the game. The Game Grumps brand was responsible for funding and promoting the game, which is advertised as "A game from Game Grumps". Programmers and artists for the game were given space in the Grump Office to work in, as shown in the video " Game Grumps Office Tour!". Dream Daddy was written and created by Vernon Shaw and Leighton Grey.
